A strange vote against steel; / serious action of the disciplinary committee to increase income!

In its latest action, the Disciplinary Committee has fined Foulad Club for a strange violation.

According to "Varzesh Se", Saturday morning has arrived and the disciplinary committee has considered its latest fines for various elements of Iranian football. In the new votes of the disciplinary committee, it is stated that Khuzestan Steel Club has been fined 50 million for the delay in entering the field and the discrepancy between the number of tickets sold and the number of spectators present in the stadium in the match with Mes Shahrbabak. In fact, the first part of this vote and the fine of Foulad Club for delay in entering the field can be justified to some extent. But in the second part of this text, the discrepancy between the number of tickets sold and the number of spectators announced is discussed, which is a strange and significant point.

In recent years, this problem has seriously existed in Iranian football, and there has never been an accurate and documented figure regarding the number of spectators present in a stadium. Even once the tag "100,000 people stadium" was applied to Azadi Complex, but there was always this rumor that this stadium has a capacity of something between 80,000 and 90,000 people, and of course, with the installation of seats in different eras, this number has also changed.

Also, the discussion of entering the stadium in Iranian football has always been associated with various issues. It has been repeated many times that spectators enter the stadium without tickets at the start of the game or minutes before the start of a match. Sometimes, to prevent chaos and overcrowding, the police force present in the stadium allows the spectators without tickets to leave, and in fact, this issue sometimes comes back to instant and momentary decisions. But now the Foulad club has faced this fine due to the mismatch between the number of tickets and the number of people present in the stadium.

This is also a new and creative way of making money from a disciplinary committee; An issue that has been repeatedly criticized by a group of critics in recent years and they claim that the disciplinary committee sometimes considers unjustified numbers for players or clubs.
